Question

how can i gain patience for my kids

Share

i have a 4 yr old boy and a 3 yr old girl and i am 26 weeks pregnant with the third. my son is driving me crazy and i have no patience for him anymore. he is uncontrolable in so many ways. i dont kno what to do about it anymore i just feel like locking myself up in a room and lettin them run wild but i kno i cant. i love my kids so much but i just cant handle it anymore and i also kno its very bad for the baby to be so stressed out all the time. my husband works nite shift so he sleeps all day and works all nite so he really isnt much help even when he is around he just ignores everything which stresses me out even more. im scared to have the baby and have ppd for everything going on. idk how some women do it but i just cant handle it. IM GOING CRAZY!!

I can understand your pain. I'm 26 weeks pregnant and my daughter is 4 and son is 10. I've completely lost it. I'm frustrated with them both. It's as if they can't listen and follow directions at all. My husband works on weekends while I'm home with them and I find myself hysterically crying because I'm constantly repeating myself when speaking to them. I know I should be able to handle this, but I'm thinking pregnancy hormones is making me I overly sensitive and I'm sure the baby doesn't need this stress right now. My husband states he understands but by the time he gets in he's to tired to take over. I've gotta get it together because I'm afraid I'm going to suffer ppd once baby is born. I'm losing my mind I feel.
